A little experimentation should convince you that if you turn a date of
MM/DD/YYYY into the number YYYYMMDD then those dates will sort
numerically. All you have to do is make sure the month and day are zero
filled to two spaces, so:
$date = sprintf "%s%02d%02d", $year, $month, $day;
and you can then just sort an array of those with
sort { $a <=> $b } @dates;
